Itqwor Movement in This City.
The rum crusade will be kept up to-day
in the same mild form in which it was in
augurated last Sunday. If the saloon
keepers keep their front doors closed and
their curtains drawn, there will be no
molestation from the police. The beer

patrons on the sly, too; but they cannot
have brass bands and music to draw the
crowd from the street. and beguile them
while they stay, They have attempted to
induce the Police Committee to reconsider
this determinati IN, but the attempt failed;

The beer garden proprietors on the Fill
feel the most aggrieved over the new order
of things. They claim that the movement

will not last beyond to-day
Mr. d. Pohlman, whose place is next to
the elevator, when interviewed yesterday
said that he would obey the order as re-
CARDS the playing of music. Beer will be
sold as usual in his place, and the side door
will be open for the accommodation OF all

played in his garden and that played in the
churches Otto ]. Meyer, the present
proprietor of s'Wolf's HOTEL was in ex-

pinochle in which he was earnestly en-
gagged with SOME of his friends, could not
be ascertained. But he was irritable, new
ertheless, and refused to say anything ex-
cept that his place would be closed tight
to-day. and that no beer could be obtained
on his premises.
Mr.. Henkel. of ssHenkels Casino"
declared that the order would not be in
force after to-day. He said the saloon
keep srs on the Heights have banded
themselves together and that everything
will be done 10 have the order resclnded.

will obey the order, he continued, "but
you will see that the music in the churches

can see church only short distance
from this place, and the.members of it say
that the music here does not disturb the
church service in the least. We do not dis
